Cause: A loose seal.

• For MISTO's with a concaved bottom, no writing: Unscrew your screw collar as if you were going to fill it with oil and simply re-screw it back down as it might not have seated right on the threads and make sure its snug tight, pump 15 full pumps and try again.
  
  
• For MISTO's with a silver bottom with writing or black bottom with writing: Unscrew your screw collar and pull the mechanism out as if you were going to fill it with oil, hold the cylinder in your hand and pop the screw collar off by pushing up under it with your thumb. Place the mechanism back in the canister and screw the collar back on, you will feel and hear a click. Tighten it a little more, pump 15 full pumps and try again. (The click is the collar re- attaching it self to the mechanism. If you unscrew again you will see it is all one piece).

Replace the spray mechanism if these steps have not stopped the problem.

No Pressure

Cause: Loose seal (see above), missing washer or broken pump tube.

• For MISTO's with a concaved bottom, no writing: Unscrew your screw collar and take it off. Pull out the mechanism as if you were going to fill it with oil. There should be a black rubber washer under the lip of the mechanism where it rests on the canister. If this is missing you will need a new washer.
  
  
• For MISTO's with a silver bottom with writing or black bottom with writing:
  Unscrew your screw collar and pull the mechanism out as if you were going to fill it with oil. Turning it upside down there should be a black rubber washer under the white collar. If this is missing then you will need a new washer.

The pump tube in the cap of the MISTO^® is the same for all models. To check to see if your pump tube is broken you will need to look at the end of the tube. The end of the tube is flared out a little. There should be a slit half way around the lip. This is the valve slot and it is what creates the pressure. You should not see this valve slot unless you pry it back. Please do not pry it back as it needs to be flush with the rest of the tube. If it appears to be pried back, hanging, or the slit appears to be more then half way around or visibly a piece has broken off you will need to replace the pump tube.

Streaming

Cause: Too much oil, solidified oil in nozzle (clog) or a loose seal.

• If your MISTO^® is relatively new, a loose seal could be causing the problem. Please refer to the steps in the first section.
• Make sure that you are measuring 1/3 cup of oil as over filling it will cause streaming.
• When was the last time you cleaned your MISTO^® and did you clean it properly? Solidified oil in the sprayer will create a clog and cause streaming. Please see the cleaning instructions below.

Cleaning

We always recommend washing you MISTO^® using directions included in the instructions booklet to keep the internal assembly clean and working properly. MISTO^® will need to be cleaned approximately every 6 to 8 weeks to keep it working smoothly or every time you refill.

• Fill the MISTO^® 1/2 full with hot tap water adding a drop of detergent.
• Close it up.
• Pump 10-15 times and spray for 10 seconds and repeat a couple of times.
• Allow the soapy water to remain in the sprayer for several hours or even overnight. This will let the soap break down any oil that has solidified.
• Rinse and repeat with warm water until the soap is gone.
• Pump MISTO^® with just air and spray any remaining water droplets out and let it dry completely before refilling.

Replace the spray mechanism if these steps have not stopped the streaming problem.

MISTO^® TIPS

• Measure 1/3 cup of oil for the MISTO^®, less is more, more will cause it to stream and this will also keep the oil you are using fresher.
• Clean your MISTO^® every 6-8 weeks or every time you refill to keep internal assembly clean and working properly.
• Make sure your white screw collar is snug tight. Do not over tighten, but make sure there is a tight seal.
• Increase pressure by pumping 15-20 times. This will ensure a fine mist and the spray will last a little longer.
• When spraying hold the MISTO^® at a slight angle, but no more than 45°
